Default Quarantine + Cupramine vs Blennies

Now quarantine tanks are a safe preventive measure to observe your fish, and if spots are found, cupramine is a good way to rid of ich/velvet and other parasites. The thing is,... I have read that being scaleless fish, blennies dont' do good in copper'd water.

So the question is..for all the blenny owners, how did you quarantine your fish ?

Lower level copramine will work, but the blennie won't like it

ive tried paraguard in the past but it never worked for me, ive been using culprimine for about 4 years with no problems that i can relate to it.
